[2021 Six Nations] Scotland vs Italy (20/03/2021)

[TRF_Olyy]

Italy won a penalty,

Scrap the relegation!

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

Could just be my pessimism, but I don't think this will be a walkover

It's just your pessimism.

 

[BiggusLaddus]

Decent start

 

[big ginger 8]

Strong finish.

 

[Gavin]

Strong start by Italy, even with the missed touch.

Relegate Scotland

... And a great conversion

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Good Italian try and God I hate so much how players can legally just stand on the wrong side of a maul, only half the time do they get there legitimately but it's basically never penalised any more.

Couldn't there be a loophole where you basically form the equivalent of the snake in rucks bit just wrap it around the back of a maul to kill it?

[Bluemoon]

Scotland aren't putting a lot of pressure on Italy at the moment, knock ons, poor kicking out of hand etc. Lacklustre and poor really.

Italy have played sensible rugby and that's a well taken try.

 

[BiggusLaddus]

Brainless penalty though, when the referee is screaming at you to stop running.

 

[MikeTheNative]

How do Italy keep giving away that same penalty?

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

Nice to see a couple of maul tries, none of that fancy-shmancy nonsense.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Jones should have passed that

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

Too easy!

 

[TommiG88]

I remember Scottish fans saying Jones was the best 13 out of the lions nations in 2017

 

[MikeTheNative]

Well........ It was competitive for 10 minutes at least.

 

[Bluemoon]

Much, much better from Scotland. Went up a gear there and there was some nice passing in that move. Worrying for the Italians how they struggle to regroup after a line break.

 

[Reiser99]

Scotland descending to Italy's level?

 

[BiggusLaddus]

I look forward to Nigel Owens tweets about why that try should have been disallowed because he jumped over the tackle.

Yeah they're terrible at it! Have been wondering if it could be a motivation thing - lack of competition means you're not fighting for the jersey and maybe don't push yourself to get back in line quickly.

Garbisi has such Ringrose vibes idk
